WOW. Protestors at Georgetown just disrupted DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan, refusing to let him speak & reading names of children who died in custody.
@DHSMcAleenan oversees ICE & CBP. There should be no platform for his hate. #AbolishICE #ICEfreeGULC

Thank you @CREDOMobile @SanctuaryDMV @dcmuslimjustice & Georgetown students for refusing to allow @DHSMcAleenan a platform.
We cannot normalize attacks on immigrants & asylum seekers.
We cannot excuse or tolerate ICE & CBP’s bigotry. #immconf #ICEfreeGULC

@CREDOMobile @SanctuaryDMV @dcmuslimjustice @DHSMcAleenan What's most disturbing is the moderators saying protesters are “robbing the audience of an opportunity to engage in dialogue."
What about the thousands of immigrants being robbed of their lives & freedom?
There can be no dialogue with human rights abusers like @DHSMcAleenan.

What's the big deal about the #PublicCharge plan from @DHSgov? My interview with @NFAPResearch breaks it down. Fundamentally, this policy is designed to impede and reduce legal #immigration, affecting millions of families and U.S. businesses: forbes.com/sites/stuartan…
"Never in our nation’s history have we said that you have to be comfortably middle class to become an American. We didn’t say that to Alexander Hamilton, or Andrew Carnegie, or the founders of Google and WhatsApp..."
"...or countless other #immigrants who came here with next to nothing, worked hard and made this country great." @Noahpinion @NatImmForum @FWDus @NewAmericanEcon #ProtectFamilies @MigrationPolicy @cliniclegal @GeorgetownLaw #immconf bloomberg.com/view/articles/…
At MPI #immconf, Francis Cissna of USCIS defends changes to public charge standards for immigrants, saying there was no previous definition in regs and so it was impossible to enforce
That’s strictly true, though immigration officers were using field guidance (not regulations) that defined public charge and had been in place since 1999
Cissna now addressing refugee policy, saying that Trump admin has instituted new measures to make the program more secure but has slowed down admissions #immconf
